Not quite true - I don't think she even mentioned aliens at all (this IS a
science journal after all), but concentrated on high-fear situations like
abuse. And her research IS very interesting and raises several questions
relating to abductee research, specifically the investigation techniques of
abduction researchers.

You make it sound like SciAm just made a huge attack on abductees - you're
overreacting more than a tad.

Have you any objections to her research, or do you just not like the abductee
boat to be rocked?
